"Guilty Of Giving" - A Guide To Legitimate Fundraising and Activism
A Mini Documentary To Support #OccupySandy, #OpOkRelief, and to spread transparency in all that we do.
Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the east coast of the United States. When there was no help for the undocumented community members, or as our government likes to call them "illegal aliens", Occupy Wall Street activists, and community members stepped up to the plate and created a massive and well oiled relief organization called Occupy Sandy. When the tornados in Oklahoma devastated thousands of residents, Occupy Sandy stepped up yet again. It is time we support them back.
On December 18th, 2012 an organization Music For Occupy, teamed up with Viper Records and some of the biggest names in socially conscious Hip Hop to hold a fund raising concert at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn N.Y.
Immortal Technique, Jean Grae, Pharaohe Monch, Hasan Salaam, Poison Pen, Jarisi X, George Martinez & The Global Block Collective, and Rebel Diaz all performed among many, many other guests. They came together to show a nearly sold out room of close to 600 people in attendance that we can come together to provide mutual aid, and raise funds all the while being completely transparent.
A few days after the concert, Immortal Technique, Viper Records, and Music For Occupy set out to The Rockaway's, in NYC which was one of the hardest hit areas in all of the east coast. They brought the nearly $7,000 raised from the Hip Hop Relief concert, and another relief concert MFO produced on Long Island with DJ Logic, and Nickodeums, and went to local mom and pop stores and purchased supplies, and delivered them directly to Occupy Sandy headquarters, dubbed YANA (Your Are Never Alone). With the help of cinematographers, and photographers they were able to document every moment
Music For Occupy produced this Occumentary "Guilty Of Giving" - A Guide To Legitimate Fundraising and Activism, to show the world...

Getting to Know You
If you're like me, you have a hard time in new social situations (mostly stemming from the conviction that everyone there is jealous and shit). But sometimes, your job or the young coffee stand boy you're attempting to get naked forces you to meet and mingle with new people. What to do? Here are some tips I've picked up:
When someone introduces herself, say, "Liar!"
Bring some ham with you.
Mention that you have black friends.
Wear a cumberbund.
DON"T bring up the Spanish-American War.
DO offer Mentos.
Correct people's pronunciation.
Take a souvenir with you to show you appreciated the host's hospitality.
Watch TV.
Remember: Anyone can make chit-chat and play nice. You'll go far if you make an impression.

Spring is finally here, as evidenced by the first rhubarb arriving in the market. The long, pinkish-green stalks have a strong, tart taste which is why in baked goods they're often stewed with sugar and mixed with a sweeter fruit such as strawberries.
When you're picking out your crop, don't worry about color so much as finding stalks that are firm and crisp, not limp or spotted. Want to give cooking with rhubarb a try? Click through the slideshow or jump straight down to see 6 of our favorite recipes.

There are two basic types of tomato-based salsas—salsa made with fresh tomatoes and salsa made with cooked tomatoes. When cooking salsa, as we do when we make enchiladas, we always use the cooked-tomato version, not the fresh. This particular salsa is popular in the north, or Sonoran part of Mexico, because of its use of Anaheim green chiles.
Starting at age seven it was my job to make salsa for our family, which I did at least once a week for ten years. This is the recipe we used, the only difference between now and the mid-60s is that now you can get some very good canned "fire-roasted" tomatoes, perfect for salsa making.
Why used canned tomatoes? If you live where we do, and in most places in the U.S., you can only get great fresh tomatoes maybe 2 months out of the year. If you do have access to good tomatoes and want to make the effort to roast them yourself, go for it! Put several tomatoes under a broiler until the skin is blistered all over, remove from the oven, let cool, remove the skin. You can do the same with the anaheim chiles.
Yet, the beauty of this recipe is that it is something a 7-year old can make in about 10 minutes – pretty useful when you are trying to get dinner on the table. And speaking of dinner, the way we usually serve our salsa? with steak and refried beans.
Simple Green Chile Tomato Salsa RecipePrint
- 1 28-oz can whole tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted (Muir Glen makes an excellent product.)
- 1 7-oz can green chiles, chopped*
- 1 clove of garlic, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 green onions (scallions), chopped, including the green parts (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (can supplement with fresh)
- 1/4 cup of very loosely packed fresh chopped cilantro
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
*Or one large 6 inch or two smaller anaheim chiles, roasted under a broiler or directly on a gas stove burner so that the outer skin has completely blackened. Put into a brown paper bag for a few minutes after roasting to loosen the blackened skin. Remove and discard the blackened skin. Remove the stem, seeds, and ribs. Chop.
1 Remove just the tomatoes from the can of whole tomatoes, place in a medium sized non-reactive mixing bowl. Using your fingers, or a fork and a sharp small knife, shred or break up the tomatoes.
2 Mix in chopped green chiles, green onions, garlic (or garlic salt), olive oil and vinegar. Add back in about 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce from the can of whole tomatoes. Sprinkle on about 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano. Mix in and taste. Adjust if needed. Add cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate when not using. Will keep several days.

To the editor:
The other day while I was at the post ofice, I noticed an advertisement flyer for their new "Go Green" stamps. This was double-sided 8.5"x3.75" multi-colored flyer.
I realize that we (the general public) must purchase stamps to put our correspondence into the postal delivery system BUT this is a government monopoly and does not need to advertise their product. Where or who do we go to if we need stamps–the USPS (and their distributors) because only they can produce and sell the product–the STAMP.

North Baltimore's Whistle Stop Inn restaurant closes
NORTH BALTIMORE — Whistle Stop Inn restaurant, which reportedly drew out-of-towners to North Baltimore with its prime rib, steaks and burgers, closed Tuesday. Residents fear it will not reopen and leave the town starved for the traffic and money it has lured for years.
Attempts to reach the owners on Friday were unsuccessful. It reportedly employed more than 20 people.
"It's sad and it's going to hurt our community," said Laurie Newcomer, co-owner and manager of Sisters Junction, just down the block from the restaurant. "It is dead here. I just sent one of my employees home. … The town is dead. … I can tell already the difference in the business uptown."
Main Street parking spaces, normally filled, were empty Friday afternoon.
At lunchtime, an out-of-town couple on their way to Perrysburg came to Newcomer's antiques and collectibles store to ask what the deal was with Whistle Stop.
"They could not believe the restaurant was closed," she said. "People are noticing it."
"I would say about 30 to 50 people a day are going to that door and turning around," said Jason Gerdeman, who tended bar there and has a shop nearby.
Whistle Stop was a perfect meeting point for those traveling between Findlay and Bowling Green and between Toledo and Lima, Gerdeman said.
"It was a nice out-of-the-way place where you could get really good food at a reasonable price."
"Our town really strives off of their business because everybody was from out of town that really ate in there," Gerdeman said. "I would say, 75 percent (of the customers) were out-of-towners. And it helped all of these businesses here."
In the wake of the Whistle Stop closing, Gerdeman said he will be closing his shop near the restaurant to join forces with another this week.
"All of our shops, we've noticed this whole week that it's been a ghost town," he said. "It's a huge letdown."

Last week, AdAge.com published an article discussing the disgust consumers are developing for the increasing number of ads that are being aired over and over again.
AdAge.com's Brain Steinberg cites an ad that Toyota has flooded the airwaves with that led to the creation of a Facebook group with nearly 9,000 members that is calling for the ad to be killed.
As Steinberg explains, a confluence of factors have come together to create a world in which advertisers are forced to ambush the airwaves - from budget cuts that have lead to the production of fewer commercials to market fragmentation that has lead television networks to throw in additional ad spots as 'make goods' so that advertisers can reach the audiences they once reached far more easily.
According to Kate Sirkin of Starcom MediaVest Group, which is a subsidiary of Publicis Groupe, consumers are far more sensitive to multiple showings of the same ad than they once were.
AdAge.com details:
"While it takes only three ads to cause wear-out in print -- about the same as it did 10 to 15 years ago -- a TV ad these days can reach the same point after only eight showings, down from 15 to 20 during the same time period. Consumers are more aware of a greater range of entertainment choices, she said, and are 'all multitasking, less patient, and don't like to have [their] time wasted.'"
This raises an interesting question - is the same thing true in the online environment?
It's a question that I believe warrants further investigation. After all, if consumers tire just as easily of online ads - or perhaps even of the same types of online ads - it has huge implications for both online advertisers and publishers.
From ad blindness to reduced visitor loyalty, the possibility that the pork barrel approach to advertising often seen online could hurt online advertisers and the properties that they advertise on is not something to be dismissed.
If such a dynamic exists online, it means that advertisers may be doing more harm than good to their brands if they're not thoughtful in implementing a balanced advertising strategy. And it also means that publishers who are lazy and look to maximize their ad inventory without any consideration as to how the use of that inventory is received by their audience could be shooting themselves in the foot over the long term.
Of course, there is a contrarian view that's worth noting here.
As Steinberg mentions in his article, some advertisers want to bombard consumers with their messages. They're acutely aware that consumers tire of ads quickly but still believe that they need to hit consumers multiple times with the same message to achieve the optimal results.
To be sure, my personal observation over the years has been that what consumers say and what consumers do are often two very different things and it's certainly very possible (if not likely) that there are consumers who voice displeasure about ads that are shown over and over again but who, unconsciously, are impacted quite effectively by these very ads.
Recognizing that, I certainly wouldn't advise that advertisers (both online and offline) start investing significantly in the production of more and more creative so as to entertain consumers and keep them from getting bored. That's not going to be viable for most advertisers in this economic environment.
At the same time, I do think online advertisers need to be aware that 'ad nausea' is a threat and to mitigate this risk, being selective about the messages you choose to bombard consumers with today is a worthwhile exercise.
Comments (3)
I'd suggest that 'ad nausea' is more of an issue for email marketers than for only advertisers and publishers.
A user is unlikely to browse away from a web page because an overexposed ad is languishing in the masthead - however, they are likely to unsubscribe from an email list if they start to feel as though they're receiving different variants of the same promotional email every other day.
I'd be interested to look at how unsubscribe rates have been behaving over the last two weeks as online retailers in particular have shifted to a 'scattergun' approach to online marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if they painted a picture of 'ad nausea' in action...
Hi there,
Interesting article:
"Of course, there is a contrarian view that's worth nothing here."
Do you mean "worth noting"?
Changes the meaning of the sentence rather a lot!
Brendan: good observations.
Ben: Freudian slip on my part? I suppose noting vs. nothing is in the eye of the beholder here although yes, I made an amusing typo. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't AMD going to be the chip supplier for the next gen video game consoles? That alone should be a boost to their financial dilemma considering those systems sell millions upon millions every year.
Remember that AMD is no longer a manufacturer, they are merely a CPU/GPU design studio. As such, the next gen video consoles will be merely a one time contract for design. Once the design is frozen ... that's it. So AMD may merely extend their inevitable death by another year or two.
So you have a copy of the contracts?

Neil Patrick Harris: 'Truly Sorry' for Saying 'Tranny'
Neil Patrick Harris carries his adorable 13-month-old son, Gideon, on Friday (December 2) in New York City.
The 38-year-old How I Met Your Mother star, in town to guest co-host Live! With Kelly, hailed a cab with partner David Burtka, who held onto Gideon's twin sis, Harper.
"Truly sorry for saying the word 'tranny' on Live this week. Twice! Should have been more thoughtful. Didn't at all mean to offend," NPH tweeted the day before.
The remark came on Thursday's show when Neil inhaled sulfur hexafluoride ("helium's evil twin") during a science segment that lowered his voice.
"Put the lotion in the basket," NPH said after realizing he sounded like Silence of the Lambs' Buffalo Bill.
"I've never sounded more like a tranny in my life," he later said after his voice returned to normal.
FYI: Harper is wearing 77kids Leopard Print Cord Jeggings.

Bi-weekly Time Reports
Policy Information
- Issue Date: December 27, 2006
- Revision Date: March 20, 2014
- Primary Contact: Payroll Manager
- Senior Administration: CFO and VP for Operations
- Responsible Office: Finance and Accounting
Policy StatementBi-weekly Time Reports have been replaced by the Unanet Electronic Time Report System and is used by all employees with the exception of marine crew to record and approve all hours prior to payroll processing.
Reason for PolicyAll employees, except marine personnel and educational appointments must electronically submit a time report on a bi-weekly basis for approval by their supervisor or designee. This is the only information which authorizes the Payroll Office to pay an employee's paycheck. In addition, it serves as the basis for assigning salary costs to grants, contracts, cost centers and all other cost activities. The procedures described below will standardize the preparation of time reports in conformance with the requirements of the Institution's cognizant federal auditor, the Defense Contract Audit Agency.
ContentsPolicy Information
Policy Statement
Reason for Policy
I. General Information:
A. All employees, except marine personnel and educational appointments must electronically submit a time report on a bi-weekly basis for approval by their supervisor or designee. This is the only information which authorizes the Payroll Office to pay an employee's paycheck. In addition, it serves as the basis for assigning salary costs to grants, contracts, cost centers and all other cost activities. The procedures described below will standardize the preparation of time reports in conformance with the requirements of the Institution's cognizant federal auditor, the Defense Contract Audit Agency.
B. Pay periods end on alternate Saturdays with pay days falling on the following Friday. All employees are required to utilize direct deposit for their biweekly wages. Pay stubs are available via Employee Online thru Human Resources or the WHOI Internal Website.
C. Time reports must be received by the Payroll Office no later than, and preferably before, noon on Monday prior to the pay day. A time report is considered 'received' if it has been submitted and approved, showing a status of 'completed'. Time reports may be submitted earlier due to necessary early approvals, processing or holidays. If the charge to a cost center or project is different from what was originally recorded, a timely correction to the time report must be made to reflect the time worked (I).
D. Time reports must reflect the hours the employee actually worked or compensated absences taken (e.g., vacation, holidays, sick leave, etc.). Time reports should be completed daily or when different tasks occur. Regular recording will insure the accuracy of time charges for the tasks worked on. In addition, exempt employees must adhere to (L).
E. Time reports are completed and submitted by the employee or designated alternate having firsthand knowledge of activities performed by the employee. Time submitted on behalf of the employee will produce the time report for the employee's review; corrections to be made if appropriate.
F. Supervisors should review and approve each employee's time report only at the end of the pay period to insure proper completion.
G. In the Science Departments, the Department Administrator is authorized to approve time reports for employees in the absence of the employee's direct supervisor. In the Department Administrator's absence, the Department Chair or designated alternate having firsthand knowledge of employee activities will approve the time reports. Time approved by anyone other than the employee's direct supervisor will produce those time reports for the supervisor's review.
H. In all other departments approvals are done by the immediate supervisor or the supervisor's designated alternate.
I. Corrections or changes to time reports for current pay period may be made any time prior to hours being extracted by the Payroll Office (Tuesday morning of the pay week). Changes made after employee submission or after supervisor approval must be resubmitted and reapproved. Changes to the cost center/project or hours worked should be made by the employee. A designated alternate or Department Administrator may make the necessary changes in the employee's absence. Changes submitted on behalf of the employee will produce the time report for the employee's review. Once resubmitted the supervisor will be notified via email and must reapprove.
J. To process an employee's payroll, the time report must be submitted and approved, showing a status of 'completed'.
K. The overtime policy for Graded Employees is covered in Payment for Overtime. Overtime reporting is referenced in Section IV.
L. Exempt employees are not entitled to overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of 8 in any one day, in compliance with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. To account correctly for any uncompensated overtime, if an exempt employee works more than 8 hours in a day and more than one cost center or project is to be charged, the maximum 8 hour period must be allocated to each cost center or project proportionately to the actual hours worked (rounded to the nearest 1/4 hour). For example, if an exempt employee works 14 hours one day, spending 10 hours on Project A and 4 hours on Project B, the ratio on the time report would reflect the following: 10/14ths of 8 hours recorded for Project A and 4/14ths of 8 hours for Project B.
M. If an employee is not present at the Institution (e.g., on vacation or sick leave, travel, at-sea, jury duty, etc.), advance completion of a time report is acceptable for up to six pay periods (current plus five). If the cost center or project charged is later determined to be incorrect, it is understood that a correction to the time report must be made.
N. The following forms have been replaced by the Unanet Electronic Time Report System:
PR-6 (Salmon Time Reports)
PR-8 (Gray Time Reports)
PR-9 (Yellow Time Reports).
PR-14 (White Reports)
PR-17 (White Reports )
Green Time Reports (OOI)
The following reporting forms are to be used:
The Marine Overtime Form is used by marine employees to record bi-weekly overtime hours.
II. Normal Work Hours:
A. The Pay Code for REG hours are used by all full and part time employees, with the exception of casual employees and ships' crew, to report up to 80hrs per pay period. A separate Pay Code for OT is used.
B. Hours worked should be entered daily on the line identifying the cost center or project to be charged using the appropriate Pay Code:
CAS-AT-SEA Casual at Sea
CAS-OT-SEA Casual Overtime at Sea
CASUAL Casual Hours
CASUAL-OT Casual Overtime
CL TAKEN Cruise Leave Taken
LEAVE Leave
MAR-AT-SEA Marine at Sea – shore leave accrued
MAR-OT Marine Overtime
MAR-REG Marine Regular (no shore leave accrued)
MAR-SL-TKN Marine Shore Leave Taken
MAR-TRAVEL Marine Travel Day
OT Overtime
OT-AT-SEA Overtime at Sea
REG Regular Hours
REG-AT-SEA Regular Hours at Sea
SD TAKEN Sea Duty Taken
C. Paid absences are to be entered on the appropriate line on the day of occurrence, using the appropriate Project (Sick Pay, Vacation, Family Illness, etc.)
D. Shop personnel, Graphics and the Programming and Analysis Group time reports should reflect all hours worked, regular and overtime, to the appropriate cost center or project. A work order number must be included.
E. Cruise Leave and Sea Duty Compensation used in lieu of working normal hours are to be reported in Unanet using the appropriate Pay Code CL Taken or SD Taken.
III. Graded Employees at Sea:
A. If an employee is at sea for all or part of a pay period, and does not have access to Unanet, time cards may be completed in advance for up to six pay periods (current plus five) or entered by the department administrator or designated alternate. If actual hours can't be determined, provisional hours may be entered. Graded employees at sea can be prepaid provisional hours of 8 hours per day for every Saturday, Sunday and holiday worked at sea. Exempt employees' time reports should not exceed 80 hour per pay period. Actual hours worked for graded employees will be subsequently reported on Form PR-7 (Pink). Any time submitted on an employee's behalf will produce the time report for the employee's review and corrections made if appropriate. Exempt employees, upon return from sea, will submit Report of Cruise Leave and/or Sea & Ice Duty Compensation (PR-16).
B. To provide for overtime compensation and to confirm the provisional time reports, when participating in a cruise, a record of all hours worked while away from Woods Hole and the project(s) to be charged must be submitted by the employee using Form PR-7. The period covered by these reports is to include all travel time. Mid-day commencement or conclusion of the travel period is to be considered travel time for the whole day and reported on Form PR-7. In the upper right hand section of Form PR-7, each cruise participant should enter the dates actually embarked and disembarked. Time spent in port prior to ship departure or following ship arrival is not "at sea" time and should be considered routine travel, work in port, vacation, etc., as appropriate. Sea Duty Compensation will be credited to individuals only on the authority of the Department Administrator, evidenced by endorsement of Form PR-7, and will include the time elapsed from date of joining the ship until date of departure.
C. The reports, completely and accurately prepared, are to be submitted at the end of each pay period and/or upon departure from the ship, to the Chief Scientist who is responsible for their approval and delivery to the Payroll Office by the most appropriate means. Compensation for properly reported and approved overtime will be added to the employee's regular earnings on the pay day occurring not less than seven days following the date received in the Payroll Office.
D. When reporting travel days, print the word TRAVEL vertically in the column(s) of the day(s) in travel status charging the hours to the appropriate project (Form PR-7).

B. Time worked is to be reported using the Casual Pay Code.
VI. Corrections to Time Reports:
A. Whenever it becomes necessary to correct any information on a time report which would change the cost center, project or the hours charged, audit authorities require such corrections to be properly documented.
B. An email request will be submitted to the Payroll Department in order to allow access to the affected pay period. All changes made to a previously saved time report require comments to support the changes and a supervisor's approval prior to being processed by the Payroll Office. Corrections to the time report should be made by the employee and approved by his/her direct supervisor. Any changes or approvals done on behalf of the employee or supervisor will produce the affected time report to be reviewed.

TRENTON — In the aftermath of Trenton's September 2011 mass police layoffs and officer demotions stands a police force with low morale and an increasing local crime rate as businesses and homeowners deal with a rising prevalence of robberies, burglaries and auto thefts in New Jersey's capital city, according to data and city officials.
The latest Trenton police crime data comparing the first 15 weeks of 2011 with the first 15 weeks of 2012 show that overall crime is up 15.6 percent this year to date.
"The criminal element is aware of the lack of police presence. The criminals out here are no fools; they know (about the reduced police force) better than anyone," said Trenton civic activist and Wilbur section resident Dion Clark. "Whenever there was a lack of police, crime would run more rampant. But in society, it runs deeper than that."
"It's a very serious problem, and it goes much deeper than just police," Clark added. "Sure, we need law and order, but it's just a mentality nowadays to maim and kill and do whatever you want to do. You have to have community input, church, family. ... We as a society have to straighten this out."
As of April 10, there have been 987 total crimes reported this year in Trenton compared with 854 reported at this point from one year ago, when the police force was fully staffed.
There's been an uptick in Trenton's crime ever since Mayor Tony Mack laid off 105 police officers — one-third of the police force — to help balance the city's budget. Overall crime comprises homicides, sexual assaults, robberies, aggravated assaults, burglaries, thefts and auto thefts.
On Friday, Mack said high unemployment and a weak economy is contributing to Trenton's rise in crime. To address that issue, Mack said he's working on instituting a vocational program that would train 200 city residents in a career-oriented trade. "We're hoping those type of things would reduce the violence," Mack said.
The mayor, who in January unveiled a comprehensive crime-fighting initiative, also said he'll "give our current plan a chance to work" and will support new Trenton Police Department Director Ralph Rivera Jr.
Mack said Rivera "brings stability to the department" and said the police officers respect Rivera and that Rivera respects the officers, which Mack said is "a recipe for success."
As of April 10, the total number of thefts and sexual assaults in Trenton is down from a year ago, but the five other crime categories are up, according to the data. Robberies and burglaries are up almost 40 percent from where they stood last year to date.
Comparing the first 15 weeks of 2011 with the first 15 weeks of 2012, the number of burglaries during that period jumped from 263 to 366 and robberies jumped from 122 to 167. Year-to-date aggravated assaults jumped from 89 to 104, according to the city's reported crime figures.
Year-to-date auto thefts have almost doubled, with 69 vehicles being reported stolen in the first 15 weeks of 2011 versus 133 being reported stolen in the first 15 weeks of this year.
Trenton businessman Harry Luna, a Latino Chamber of Commerce of Mercer County leader and former Trenton school board member, said the reduction in Trenton's police force has left the city's business and residential community in a position of feeling the need to fend for themselves and their families.
"We are taking precautions," Luna said of city entrepreneurs, citing the use of security cameras, panic buttons and weapons for self-defense. "Before we would just call the police," Luna said.
Luna said he himself is going to register to get a gun and said he knows of some residents who are buying illegal firearms for self-defense purposes. "I'm afraid more people are going to be taking matters into their own hands," he said.
Among the dozens of laid off police officers were "young kids who were full of energy and went after the knuckleheads who were committing the crimes," Luna said. "Some of the older police officers, no disrespect to them, they are not going to be chasing anybody and going into a crime-ridden areas by themselves."
South Ward Councilman George Muschal said the Trenton Police Department has suffered a "loss of total morale" from Mack's layoff plan, which trimmed the force by almost one-third and demoted some captains, lieutenants and sergeants to lower ranks — giving those demoted officers 15 percent pay cuts and putting the demoted sergeants into patrol officer duties.
"The main thing is, bring back the morale by bringing the cops back and promoting the rank as soon as possible," Muschal said on Friday. "We can't do more with less, and we need more police officers on the street. We need rank on the street to supervise our (officers)."

Artist: Duane Hanson
Title: "Vendor with Walkman"
Medium: Sculpture - Bronze
Size: 8' x 8' x 15'
Year Installed: 1990
Venue: Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport
Internationally acclaimed late sculptor Duane Hanson created an installation for his work "Vendor with walkman" at the Departure Level of Terminal 3. Featuring a seated 30+ year old male wearing a red T-shirt, blue pants, baseball cap and listening to a walkman radio/cassette during a break. The installation accessories give additional clues to the narrative of the artwork: toy airplane, various signs and announcement for the shop, janitorial supplies… Hanson again presented a slice of Americana in the most unexpected locale.
"Vendor with walkman should be seen as a work of contemporary sculpture. The artist has tried to create a normal situation in the airport environment. The vendor seated in a folding chair is listening to a walkman in a shop that is about to open for business."

Exclusive Pumping
Some mothers exclusively pump and bottle-feed expressed breast milk. Some mothers pump exclusively from birth by choice, while others reluctantly resort to pumping full or part-time due to problems with breastfeeding that have not been solved. Some reasons that mothers may resort to exclusive pumping might be:
- Premature or ill baby
- Anatomic problems in baby
- Baby who will not latch on to the breast.
- Severe engorgement, pain, mastitis, inverted or flat nipples
- Painful breastfeeding
- Poor or no help with early breastfeeding causing mom to stop breastfeeding
- Unnecessary advice recommending weaning
- Temporary medical crisis involving medications
- Mother who has psychological issue around breastfeeding, i.e. sexual abuse victims
- Desire to pump exclusively without medical or other indication
- Perceived low supply
For mothers who are pumping but who wish to breastfeed directly, we recommend personal consultation for breastfeeding problems with an IBCLC. There are other excellent support services such as physicians, La Leche League, and the Nursing Mothers' Council. Go to Medela's Ask the LC pages for on-line support. Problems such as low milk supply, or low weight gain in the infant can often be easily fixed with help and support.
If a mother cannot or does not wish to breastfeed directly, exclusive pumping, begun soon after birth, can provide baby with breast milk, which is highly superior to artificial baby formula. Use a hospital grade pump with a double kit, such as the Symphony. Milk production depends on frequent and effective milk removal from the breasts. Pump at least 8 times in 24 hours, or a minimum of 100 minutes per day. Many exclusively pumping mothers find it helps their milk supply if their baby is allowed to spend time skin-to-skin at the breast, even if the baby only nuzzles the nipple.
Several short pumping sessions are preferable and more effective than longer less frequent sessions. Some herbs and medications can be used to improve supply in mothers who find supply to be an issue. Avoid medications that may cause a decrease in supply, such as birth control medications and over-the-counter oral cold medicines.
Make sure that the breast pump flange fits well, and that the nipple moves freely within the flange. If a larger breast shield flange is needed, Medela makes PersonalFit™ kits with wider flanges, large ( 27 mm diameter) and extra large (30 mm diameter). If a mother wishes to exclusively pump, the correct equipment, comfortably fitted and used properly and frequently will make her experience more successful.
Sometimes, mothers who exclusively pump worry that they won't have enough milk to meet the needs of the older, heavier, 3-6 month old infant. It is normal for milk production to be fairly constant over time. Interestingly, while the volume of milk produced doesn't change much, the energy requirements of babies actually decrease as they grow towards the 6- month mark. This is because the rate of growth of babies is very rapid at first, but slows down later, providing protection against obesity.
For information on ways to remedy low supply, see FAQ Low supply or ask our LC.

CRN asked dozens of stakeholders in the telecom channel over a three-month period, from VARs and agents to master agents and analysts, to identify who among the telecom and cable players has shown the most willingness to work with IT VARs at a program and support level. In our informal poll, we asked respondents to focus specifically on telecom service providers and cable companies instead of major names like Cisco or Avaya with already-well-established IT channel programs.
Here are the 20 supplier/provider names and programs -- not including master agent programs -- most frequently mentioned as being firmly in the channel's corner. The company descriptions appeared in CRN's 2012 Business Connectivity Partner Program Guide in September.
For a closer look at the relationship between VARs and telecom vendors, check out a preview of our special report on IT-telecom channel convergence, available exclusively on the CRN Tech News App.

Rihanna lashed out during her concert in the U.K. on Monday night (17Jun13) when an overzealous fan grabbed hold of her costume.
The Umbrella superstar ran into trouble while walking through the pit in front of the stage while singing her hit We Found Love during her Diamonds World Tour gig at the LG arena in Birmingham, England.
As she passed baying fans in the front row, one devotee grabbed hold of her sparkling jacket from behind the barrier and refused to let go.
In video footage of the night, the singer is shown losing patience and lunging at the fan with her microphone, before a burly security guard guides her away from the crowd.
Monday was a bad day for Rihanna - a man was arrested on suspicion of trespassing after he was caught on the roof of her California home.

I may call New England home now, but there is still a big part of me that will always be proud I grew up in the south. Especially when I see a wedding like this one from Ruddock Photography. It reminds me of why southern weddings are so special - yes they are filled to the brim with details, but more importantly, they are focused on family and friends. And that just warms my heart right up. Because not only is this wedding lovely, it's full of love, and that's the best detail of all. See it all here.
From Ruddock Photography... Not even waking up to one of the worst cold fronts in West-Texas could pull the warmth out of this amazing country wedding. Photographed by Ruddock Photography and set against the beautiful backdrop of BootJack Ranch in Goldthwaite, TX, this intimate country wedding had it all: hay rides, a ceremony under two giant Oaks, a horse and carriage, and a whole lot of love. The entire wedding had a pure, country feel to it, and Brookes' handmade details and her mother's homemade, individual apple pies gave southern style and warmth a whole new meaning.

Texas fires defensive coordinator Diaz after poor defensive performance
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz on Sunday, less than 24 hours after one of the worst defensive performances in the history of the program.
Longhorns head coach Mack Brown announced that former Longhorns defensive coordinator and Syracuse head coach Greg Robinson will take over the job.
''Our performance on defense [Saturday] night was unacceptable, and we need to change that,'' Brown said.
BYU ran for 550 yards, the most ever allowed by Texas, in a 40-21 victory against the Longhorns, putting a potential breakthrough season on the brink of another big disappointment if the Longhorns can't fix their defensive problems. Texas (1-1) plays No. 25 Mississippi (2-0) at home on Saturday.
Brown hired Diaz after Texas finished 5-7 in 2010 and defensive coordinator Will Muschamp left to be the head coach at Florida. The hire was a surprise considering Diaz had been defensive coordinator just one season at Mississippi State, but Brown called him a rising star in coaching who brought energy and new ideas to his struggling program.
Aside from a blowout loss to Oklahoma, Diaz's first season was a success as Texas matured into the best defense in the Big 12. But the unit regressed into the one of the worst in program history in 2012. As the season wore on, players complained that teammates weren't lining up correctly or playing hard every game.
Texas hid some of those problems with a 9-4 finish and a bowl victory and Brown shrugged off questions if Diaz would be replaced. But after the loss to BYU, Diaz's tenure was being measured in minutes.
Television cameras during the game showed Brown huddled with Diaz and defensive backs coach Duane Akina seemingly pleading with them to find a way to stop BYU's marauding rushing attack.
Brown refused to say in his postgame news conference if he planned to keep Diaz on the job, and by Sunday afternoon announced that he will be reassigned within the athletic department. Diaz makes more than $600,000 a year.
Brown knew he was taking a chance on Diaz when he hired him. Diaz, who once worked at ESPN and thought he wanted a career in sports journalism, was inspired to pursue coaching after helping cover a Bill Parcells news conference.
Diaz's career took him from graduate assistant role at Florida State to North Carolina State and Middle Tennessee. He was defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee for four seasons before taking the same job at Mississippi State. Diaz hadn't applied for the Texas job until Brown called him.
In Robinson, Brown gets a coordinator with NFL experience who has rescued the Texas defense before.
Robinson spent one season with Texas in 2004, helping guide the Longhorns to an 11-1 finish and a Rose Bowl victory against Michigan and was notable for his fiery personality on the sideline. Robinson left Texas to be the head coach at Syracuse, where he spent four dreadful seasons, going 10-37. He served as Michigan's defensive coordinator under Rich Rodriguez in 2009 and '10, and then returned to Texas in July as a football analyst.
''He knows this place, did a terrific job in leading our defense before, and I'm excited to have him back on the field,'' Brown said.
Robinson also spent 14 years in the NFL, most notably as defensive coordinator when the Denver Broncos won consecutive Super Bowls in 1997-98.
''This is a tough deal for everyone involved, but I love the University of Texas and coach Brown has been wonderful to me,'' Robinson said in a statement released by the team. ''I'll do anything I can to help him.''

Buffalo race aims to show running as a means of support
Marathon runners keep running. That's what they do. They run up hills, in snowstorms and heat waves and through blisters, bloody toenails and stomach eruptions. They're a hardy, determined lot.
That's why the Boston Marathon explosions Monday aren't likely to knock local marathon runners off course.
Now, as the reality of the Boston tragedy sets in, some runners think that the camaraderie of the long-distance running community could even boost numbers for the May 26 Buffalo Marathon, as a tribute to Boston and its victims.
Even before that, a local solidarity run for the Boston victims and runners already has been planned. It starts at 9 a.m. Sunday in Delaware Park.
"I might do the full 26.2 [miles]," said organizer Julia Burke, who had planned on an 18-mile training run for that day. "It would be a tribute to the Boston Marathon runners and runners everywhere."
Like other races around the nation, next month's Buffalo Marathon promises to have beefed-up security in the wake of the Boston killings.
And while some runners won't return to the Boston Marathon, others vow to put on their running shoes again next year, to make a powerful statement.
"I would run it again, and I'd run in honor of the spectators who died, the individuals who were hurt and lost limbs and all those whose loved ones were affected," said Katie Siwy, a Boston resident and West Seneca native who was taken off the course just past the 25-mile mark Monday.
"I think the majority of people probably would run it again," she added, though she admitted that she remained rattled Tuesday.
Siwy cited a neglected point in Monday's massive coverage of the tragedy: While friends and loved ones of the runners could keep track of the runners' progress digitally, many runners didn't know whether their supporters were OK. Her parents, Charles and Judy Siwy, and a cousin, Tiffany Carrow, were delayed somewhat getting to the finish line.
"They could track me, but in my head, they were down there [at the finish line] waiting for me to finish," she said.
Patricia Lawley, a mother of five from Eggertsville, finished the race five or six minutes before she heard the big bang and saw smoke from the first explosion.
A woman next to her thought it might have been some kind of cannon fire related to Patriots Day.
And then, just like the events of Sept. 11, Lawley heard the second bang and knew it wasn't a ceremonial cannon shot.
The chaotic aftermath has Lawley thinking twice about returning to such a large marathon as Boston's.
"Probably not," she said Tuesday. "Just because my kids were there, and we were all shaken up – all those visual images. I kept thinking about 9/11."
She said she'd feel more comfortable running a smaller race, like the Buffalo Marathon.
As runners weigh the risks and rewards of running Boston, or any marathon, more than 240 people already have said they plan to participate in Sunday's Boston Marathon Solidarity Run in Delaware Park.
Burke, who honored Hurricane Sandy victims with a Delaware Park run after the New York City Marathon was canceled last November, was driving back Monday from a half-marathon in Michigan when she heard about Boston. It didn't take long for her to come up with the plan for Sunday's tribute.
Burke, associate editor of Buffalo Spree magazine, is training for the Buffalo Marathon. She's asking anyone who wants to participate to join her starting at 9 a.m. in the park, at the Meadow Road shelter, and run any distance.
"Our goal is to raise money for the Red Cross, because they're first responders, but also to encourage people to give blood," she said.
Last November, about 200 people joined Burke during her 15 laps around Delaware Park. That event raised at least $5,000 for the Red Cross hurricane- relief efforts.
Monday's tragedy in Boston promises to have ripple effects on all marathons, especially with the targeting of spectators along such a long, open course.
But runners cited the clear distinction between the Boston and Buffalo events.
"The Boston Marathon is an international event, and it would be a prime target for a terrorist," said John Beishline, the local marathon's director. "Buffalo is more of a regional marathon, so we should be OK. But we're going to do everything we can to make sure it's safe."
Like any security official, Beishline didn't want to get into too many specifics, other than to say that the Buffalo Marathon, for the second straight year, will set up an emergency command center. Race officials also will meet to discuss possible measures to increase security.
One detail that might change will be the baggage check-in for runners who pack a bag with a change of clothes for after the race. Beishline wouldn't provide any specifics.
Burke, the organizer of this Sunday's run, said she wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo attracted more runners after the Boston killings, because of the solidarity of the running community.
"This year, I know that everyone already running [Buffalo] will have Boston in their hearts," she said.
And she believes the storied and precious history of the Boston Marathon will keep runners returning there.
"My heart breaks for Boston," she said, "but I really think this will only make the support for Boston stronger."

Springsteen's "We Take Care of Our Own" topped the set list at last night's Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem. I sat spellbound in Scottsdale as Springsteen and the band rocked their way through 19 tunes heavy laden with tales of upheaval and undying optimism.
The Apollo Theater concert was broadcast live by Sirius XM in celebration of its tenth anniversary, coinciding with the recent release of Springsteen's "Wrecking Ball" album. Yes kids, that's what some of us old timers call them. Without apology.
Critics have weighed in on both, and I find those from The New York Times most intriguing. But my own read on the concert has a different vibe. The Apollo Theater concert was simply Springsteen taking care of his own. Like all the best storytelllers, Springsteen listens. And he hears people hurting.
Hold tight to your anger. Don't fall to your fear. Put old skills to new uses. Seize the break of blue in a long cloudy sky. Remember those dealt injustice, and help those suffering now. Be the change. Make the change. And enjoy the rock and roll ride — Springsteen's vehicle for soothing the soul while calling heart and hands to action.
As Springsteen wove older works into newer "Wrecking Ball" fare, the continuity of his decades-long drive for social justice was clear. So too was his genuine gratitude for those who came before — including many an artist who's graced the Apollo Theater stage. Springsteen is a soul man. And soul must be shared.
Some folks are especially gifted at simultaneously running with and passing the torch. Springsteen is among them. After longtime friend and fellow musician Clarence Clemons died last summer, the torch went to nephew Jake Clemons — now part of "the E Street horns." The Apollo Theater concert was rich with brass, choral music and strings that make the band's heart beat just a little louder.
Gospel. Soul. Rap. Rock and roll. Irish jigs and mariachi melodies. It's not your mother's Springsteen. Or perhaps it is. I remember taking our two daughters, then in high school, to Springsteen's last concert in Phoenix. They were equally moved by the music and the food collection boxes scattered throughout the venue's main hall. Music feeds the soul. But it takes more to feed the hungry.
Hence Springteen's shout out, near the end of the Apollo Theater concert, to fans who support the work of WhyHunger — and to its executive director Bill Ayres, who co-founded the organization with singer/songwriter Harry Chapin (whose brother Tom Chapin recently performed here in the Valley).
Like plenty of Springsteen fans, we won't be in the house for any "Wrecking Ball" concerts, but there's much we can do to move our own communities past hard times. Learn more about WhyHunger. Support our local food banks. Advocate for just public policies. Promote the arts that sustain us. And rise up.
Wherever this flag's flown, we take care of our own. — Bruce Springsteen
— Lynn

If you've used the Internet there is a large chance you've heard of Amazon.
What started out as a small online book store has grown and grown and you can buy just about anything you would find in any high street retailer on their site.
A feature they have had for many years is the "wish list"
The idea is that while browsing the Amazon store you can add anything to your wish list. That way you can come back at a later date and purchase the items or you could provide friends and relatives with your wish list address so at birthdays, holidays, anniversary's, etc they can get you a gift safe in the knowledge it's something that you really want. It's a bit like a wedding list. But just for you!
This has advantages for both sides.
As mentioned you and your family can ensure they all get gifts that they enjoy!
Amazon hope you'll buy this specifically from them (you don't have to but I'll cover this in a minute) buy they also get some great business information from this.
One example is that its now very easy for them to figure out which items are popular so that they can ensure they have enough stock to meet the demand.
Setting one up is pretty simple.
Visit www.amazon.co.uk and create an account if you don't already have one (top right)
After that click on the "Gifts & Wish Lists" option at the top of the home page and then click the "wish list" link.
You can edit your profile to include a picture and details of yourself so that friends and family can find you easily (there is a search capability) and even add items such as your birthday and your delivery address so items can be shipped straight to you (your delivery address is only known to Amazon so no-one can randomly find your address)
You can create as many lists as you need.
I have my own personal list as well as a list for books I'm interesting in for IBIT.
All you then need to do is add items to your lists which is also very simple.
While you are browsing the site add you see something you're interested in just click the "Add to Wish List" button.
You can manage your list and specify how many of a certain item you may have, add comments or set a priority if you REALLY want something.
This may all sound well and good but what if you want something that Amazon don't actually sell?
In the past there wasn't anything you could do about it but Amazon recently added a feature called the "Universal Wish List"
You can add a button to your web browser that will add the link to any page into your wish list.
There is a link with the setup instructions for all the major browsers on the wish list page
Here's how it works.
While I'm visiting another web site I see something I'd like to add to my wish list.
I click the button I previously setup and a box appears in the corner of the site.
It will try and pick up the title and the appropriate image but you can customise this as you see fit.
All you need to do is enter the price (it's not quite that clever!) and click the "add to list" button.
The item then appears on your wish list.
Anyone viewing your wishlist can now click the link and be taken back to the original web site even though it's not Amazon!
So the final piece of the puzzle is how do Amazon know when something like this has been purchased? I don't want TWO Space Invaders Alarm Clocks!
Or what if I find something on the wish list is simply cheaper else where?
When someone else is viewing your wish list there are shown this view
You can simply click on the "Buying this gift elsewhere option" and enter some details.
The item will then be marked as "reserved" and won't appear on the wish list for anyone else.
The Amazon wish list is a great free to use service whether you just want to build a list of items you're interested in or just want to give your friends and family a nudge in the right direction it's worth checking out!
Accessing your email through a web browser isn't new. As well as the free consumer services such as Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo, getting at business email from anywhere is one of those things we take for granted. Outlook Web Access has a lot of tricks up its sleeve though and one of them lets you get at files stored on your server!
* This applies to Small Business Server 2008, Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 *
Needing to view a file while away from the office is common place. You might want to print out a price list, or a product catalogue or edit a quote before sending it to a client.
Normally to get around this you would either have to use various long winded methods such login to your PC remotely and doing it there or emailing it to yourself, then login to webmail and download the file. Either that or call the office and get someone there to email it to you!
All of this seems rather long winded. Fortunately using Outlook Web Access we can get to your files directly.
Login to your webmail as normal.
At the bottom left of the screen there is a "documents" option.
The empty screen hides how powerful this feature is!
Clicking on the open location prompts you for a location.
If you just use your server name (such \\SBSSERVER) you can browse ALL of your servers file shares.
From here I can open any folder in the same way as if I was on my network.
I can double click on a folder to list it's files and folder.
Double clicking on a file allows you to download and open the file in the same way as if you were on a regular website
If this folder is something you may need to access on a regular basis you use the "Add to favourites" button"
Your favourites are stored on the left hand side of the screen for easy access.
If your server has been setup to redirect your My Documents folder to your server this means you can access your own files as well as those shared throughout the company.
You can even use this to gain access to files stored on a SharePoint site.
There is one downside to this. Because we're downloading files there isn't any way to upload files making this a "read-only" operation. We can download files but any changes stay local to the PC we're working on (the same as with any website)
This is where regular PC remote access would be more appropriate but as a quick and easy way to view any file on your network it's invaluable.
Considering Outlook Web Access is generally regarded as an email application this seldom used feature turns a single web page into a full remote working solution!
If you'd like to know more about how to set this up for your business please get in touch.
A very very quick tip!
One of the great new features of Windows 7 is the jump list.
When you right click on an icon on the task bar you are presented with it's jumplist
The jumplist as a minimum usually contains a list of recently used documents .
However, depending on the application you're using you will get additional options in the guise of "actions"
The Outlook 2010 jumplist looks like this.
From here I can create new Outlook items such as e-mails and tasks.
This may look quite trivial but it can be a huge time saver as you no long have to actually switch to the application to create a new item.
As more and more applications start to support this we should see some interesting actions!
If you'd like to know more about Outlook 2010 or Windows 7 please get in touch.
The humble A-to-Z has taken a bashing in recent years. With the advent of satellite navigation devices first as portable devices such as a Tom-Tom and now even your mobile phone, finding a route has never been easier.
The amount of additional information available in navigation system is helpful too - need a restaurant near your destination? Not a problem! Your sat-nav will find it for you.
This also includes parking spaces. The problem with this though is that while it may tell you where someone to park is located it doesn't tell you anything else about it.
Information such as how many spaces there are, what the costs are or even a review as to how clean and safe a car park feels just isn't a part of the experience when using a sat-nav.
This is where Parkopedia comes in.
It makes use of google maps and contributions from other road others to help build up a massive database about parking spaces.
When visiting parkopedia.co.uk you're presented with a search engine style interface.
Simply enter your destination which can be a landmark, a post code or a street name and a list of results is displayed.
The information is plotted directly on the map and you can filter out specific types of car parks (if you're not a fan of parking meters for example)
You'll get an overview of how far the car park is from your destination (on foot) as well as a rough cost for a full day's parking.
Clicking onto a specific car park gives you even more information.
Details about how many spaces, opening hours as well how the pricing works.
You can even get a street view of the entrance so you know exactly what you're looking for when driving there.
Other features include an iPhone app, local attraction information as well as the ability to embed the map on your own website giving your customers details parking information!
All in all a very useful website for the regular traveller.
The fax machine has been a business staple for many many years and even though most communication is done via email nowadays just about everyone still has a fax number.
In the same way as email, fax numbers can become susceptible to spam and while there are services to help combat this (such as the Fax Preference Service) we still can end up with unwanted print outs that cost the business money but there is also the environmental aspect of all that wasted paper and ink.
So what to do about it?
If you're running Microsoft Small Business Server this has many built-in fax capabilities. Most people know that you can send a fax directly from your PC but did you know the server can receive incoming faxes on your behalf?
With the fax system hooked up to your server it can receive the messages and then you have lots of choices around what to do with them.
You could have them converted to email, sent to your Intranet, stored in a shared folder or if you still really wanted to directed to a printer! You can even do a combination of these.
When you have your server receive the faxes in this way they are saved as picture files. You can them view them on screen and decide if you need to print them after all or just delete them if they are spam.
The other advantage is that now they are on the system they can be filed and backed up. Something that would be very hard with a regular paper fax!
If you are running Small Business Server then you already have this functionality ready to be used on your network!
If you'd like to know more about this feature or learn how a small business server could help your business please get in touch.
